Instances are on record where toilers in
gold mines and diamond fields, who by one
turn of a spade, a single movement of the
hand have been transformed from pennilcss
laborcrs to millonaircs. But they were not
so lucky as is the consumptive who finds a
means of restoration to health, who learns
that the dread disease from which he suffers
is not incurablc. DR. Piercc's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery will cure consumption (Which
is lung scrof dla) and nothing else will. Foi
all diseases of the blood, such as blotches,
pimples, eruptons scrofulous sores and
swellings, it is unequaled.

Returns from Dakota indicate that only
light vote was cast at the recent election.
Division was the only question of general
interest up, and the vote is overw helm
ingly in its favor, the opponents of the
measure evidently being among the stay
at-homes. Returns from North Dakota
counties, where vigorous opposition to
the measure was anticipated, are generally
In its favor, although by somewhat
smaller majorities than in the counties of
South Dakota. Many counties took adj
vantage of the local option law to vote
upon prohibition and the results so far AS
learned appear to indicate surprising
temperance sentiment, nearly all the
counties carrying for prohibition by good
majorities. Although the vote upon d.
vision was hardly as large as it was hoped
for, the majority in its favor is SO marked
as to leave no doubt as to the desire of the
people of Dakota to be admitted as
two States. BY one of the most
shameless usurpations, the boldest
misuse of power, the Democratic party in
Congress has kept that Territory out of
the Union, though it has twice the popula-
ton Of some of the old States.

The store of S. Meserve & Son at Bar
Mills was entered by thieves last Friday
morning. When Neal Atkinson, one of the
clerks, returned from the X. of p, fair at
Buxton at p. m. Friday, he discovered a
light in the store. He called Meserves folks
and when they arrived at the store they found
things badly shaken up. The robbers took
robes and blankets and nailed them up to the
windows. They drilled hole in the safe
but did not succeed in opening it and were
probably frightened away as they did not
obtain much for their trouble

without the help of the saloons" SAYS
the Chicago Journal. one of the fairest
newspapers in the country. '.thc Demo
cratic party would he in a minority of TO-
600 In the State of New York. 1t is equally
true that even with the help of the saloons
they could not carry the State without the
help of the Prohihtionists in weakening
the Republican party" This is a plain
statement of the truth but unfortunately
the truth is not what Prohibitionists of
one idea want. They prefer to nurse their
peculiar notions of reform and foster rum
shops. They do not care half as much for
the kernel of temperance as they do for
its shell. Thus they are living on husks
In New York and insisting that everybody
else shall except the rum ring.

The Lewiston Journal has published an
article in which investigation shows that the
working women of Maine earn on anaverage
little more than five dollars per week, 1t is the
opinion of many who have studied this sub
jcct that the average wages of women in Maine
are much higher. There is one thing however
that is proven and that is the far better condi-
ton of female labor in the State of Maine
compared with that of those in other States.
Education is tending to broaden the field of
woman's labors and woman's rights are being
recognized more and more. But when their
compensation for equal labor shall have
reached that received by men the millennium
will not only come to them but the boosted
supremacy of bigoted man will have received
tremendous shock.
